@biz - I looked through the entire thread again - no one has mentioned the type of phone that they have - including me - except in my previous post when I tried my ipad with spotify on the 595 - and it worked.
But it would not work when I tried to connect the Samsung android phone. That suggests that it is might not be an issue with the spotify app. Only the app that is created for Android phones.

Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Re: No more Spotify on Zumo
I use Pandora with my Android phone and bluetooth it into my radio speakers with a ROAV SmartCharge F2 Bluetooth FM Transmitter. Why can't you do the same with Spotify?

Re: No more Spotify on Zumo
I was just looking for my notes on installing system software for GCD files for someone else on the forum.
I came across this snippet that I obtained from somewhere - and that somewhere did not give a source.
It says:
I'd forgotten about this, and I never checked it out.

For Spotify with Zumo 595
* In bluettoth settings: rename your device to 'zumo 595' and nothing else !

Re: No more Spotify on Zumo
Tried it, still doesn't work - Zumo still saying "failed". Interestingly though, the phone seems to think it's working - can't hear it on the phone, as it says it's playing via BlueTooth, and the phone reckons that the device it's playing on is none other than the Zumo.... See:

Re: No more Spotify on Zumo
Curious. Check that capital Z. The post where I found that snippet had a lower case z. I thought it was odd, but that is what it said, so that is what I copied.

Re: No more Spotify on Zumo
More strangeness.... Set the Zumo to Bluetooth audio, bluetooth phone to bike, start Spotify, go into Zumo media player, and will pause/start/skip Spotify!

Re: No more Spotify on Zumo
That has always worked for me - I just checked that I reported this, rather than just finding out, but its there on 2 Dec 2022 (previous page).
So you can play a Spotify play list. You were not able to have the spotify interaction from the Zumo screen.
And once you stop (not pause), I don't think the playlist can be resumed - it has to be started again from the phone.
